Would You Buy a 360 Advertised with the Ring of Death?

The Ring of Death is the three red lights that go on around the power button of an Xbox 360. It signals general hardware failure. But we found an Xbox 360 at Target.com being sold for “the low price of $399.99.” That would have sounded like a good deal, until we saw the picture of the 360:

Okay, obviously Target takes great care to ensure that the products it sells (in-store or online) are in good working order. So most likely, this was a goof by someone who didn’t know how to read the Ring of Light. But, one of our writers just had to laugh: “Cash on Delivery; Brick on Arrival. That explains the low, low price!” All joking aside, though, if you do see the ominous Ring of Death on your Xbox 360, we do have a number of articles here that’s all about calming your fears and easing your worries. There’s one that’s all about interpreting the different Rings of Death (exactly what those pretty red lights mean). We also have another one that offers a DIY quick-fix to the problem.
